Great boot, perfect middle ground between mountaineering and minimalist hiker

Been wearing these boots for about two weeks now in northern PA in February and so far very pleased! It's been very wet and cold and so far my feet have stayed dry and warm. Worn them on a day hike in fresh snow up to 5" without issue--uppers stayed dry, traction was good, and the Gore-Tex did it's ...

These are comfortable...plenty of room for my wide feet!!! I LOVE the style and durability!! Can't wait to break them in!!!

Asolo shoes run 1/2 size small, but are a quality product. This particular shoe is light weight and is a little thin on the sole which I could see as a problem on rugged terrain. I had no problem with putting them on as others stated knowing that a full lace boot which you can adjust infinitely does take a little longer to put on. Good shoe for run of the mill use.

I took these boots out on a 15 mile traverse of the Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire to break them in. We started up the flume slide, went through Liberty, Little Haystack, Lincoln, Lafayette, and then back down. It was raining when we started - the slide was a waterfall, and the trail was a mix of soaked mud and exposed rock the whole way.

These boots have a few things going for them:
- They're super grippy. The slipped once or twice off of their fair share of wet rocks, but performed much better than my previous boots would have.
- They are truly waterproof. At least for their first hike, they + a pair of smartwool socks kept me dry even through flooded trails.
- The lacing is really nice. It's reminiscent of laced climbing shoes in that you _will_ need to loosen the laces a lot in order to put them on, but being able to adjust lacing down to the toes meant no blisters even while breaking them in.

I can't speak yet to their longevity - I'll update later if they fall apart unexpectedly soon.

I've taken these boots hiking in Iceland and Colombia and my verdict is that while these are good boots for light hiking and soft trails, they are NOT meant for rugged, rocky trails. The soles are just too thin. After a few hours of hiking on hard packed dirt and rocks, you can feel every pebble through the soles. Definitely recommend wearing thick socks with these. And order a 1/2 size up; they are very tight and hard to put on as others have mentioned.

I like these boots very much. This is my first pair of Asolo hiking boots. I was anxious to receive then and have not been disappointed. They needed very little breaking in. After a weekend of wearing them around the house and yard I think they're ready for the trail.

Light boots, very good quality! a really spent some time looking for a good hiking boots and these are great! the sole is Vibrant, and despite being so think they give you good support! The product is really good, and the price is way cheaper than other Websites, specially the one form Besos.

These are just as comfortable as they look. If you do not have a wide foot these fit perfect. The long lace makes you able to adjust the boot to how tight you like them. I wore them in the cold about 15 degrees and they did not keep my feet warm at all. These are for above freezing temperatures. That is my only gripe thus far. Recommend fully

Yes, the lacing can be adjusted for the tie box. Also, the inserts are average in depth, replacing with thinner inserts will increase space.

Good morning,
This shoe is designed to fit snug and laces all the way to the toe.
I dont think this particular shoe will work for a wide foot because the shoe is snug,even with the laces loose.
Best regards,
Ben

This is a standard medium width. You could wear the toes a little looser, but I can't guarantee it would be comfortable.

I typically take a size 11D in Under Armour, New Balance, and Nike running shoes, as well as Columbia snow boots. Am more like a 10 1/2 in casual and dress shoes. Not sure it this makes any sense...If you could recommend whether I should order a 10 1/2 or 11 in the Asolo Cactus boots, I'd really appreciate it. Finally, while not extra-wide, my feet are definitely not on the narrow side. I read a couple reviews that Asolos run narrow. In your opinion, should I be concerned that the Cactus boot would be too narrow for me. Thanks a lot.”

The shoes seem to run true to size, and although narrow in appearance, they did not feel particularly narrow. However, as with other Asolo brand shoes, the toe box is somewhat cramped. Also, the lacing is a bit tedious for every day casual wear, but should help provide great support for hiking. Still a great looking shoe.

1. I wear a NB/Brooks 11D, and I bought a 10.5 Asolo and fit perfectly. I also have orthotics, and it still gives a snug fit.
2. I recommend you finding a way to vent out the air w/in the shoes. An athlete will find that the GorTex REALLY seeps in the flavor, thus making your shoes really stinky. Either Dryer Sheets or tea bag should help.

Hope this helps.

I wear a 9 1/2 C. My feet are narrow, and my left foot is a bit longer than the other. This boot fits perfectly on both feet. I appreciate that it is a bit longer than most brands the same size. It is sized 43 1/3 in instead of the normal 43 1/4 in European dimensions.

As I recall, the gusset goes to about 2 inches from the top. I sent them back, so I can't check the boots.

Answered on 10/19/2015 10:52:27 AM by LA GUY from Los Angeles

All the way to the top.

Answered on 10/19/2015 2:03:16 PM by Danny from Nevada

The high part of the gusset where it attaches to the tongue is 2" to top, the high part of the gusset where it attaches to the body of boot is 2 3/8" to top and the lowest part of the gusset, in the dip or bottom of gusset fold is 2 3/4" to top. Have read where it can be intrusive but have not had a problem with that and have put around 75 miles on so far, all on a packed bike track, typically rough on feet because of speed and hammering. Had to trim the left insole at heal left just a tiny bit to keep from rubbing but fine now. If you buy them wear them around the house for a few days to get the feel of them and don't wrench the laces real tight, play around with them.

The gusset stops 2.25 inches short of the top of the upper on my pair.

Within 2 inches. I would guess, ridiculously snug at ankle. Very hard to put the boot on.

It is about 2 inches down from the top of the tongue

“I wear a 9 wide in the Asolo Neutron. I'm wondering if my foot (which is a D+ width, but not E) will be ok in this boot?? ”

I am an E width and my length is 11. If I nudge up a half size on shoes it works out ok. The size upsize gives me more width but sometimes too long and the footbed may not fit either. From what I have discovered, Asolo shoes are very precise in width and length, they have a extremely high quality feel fit. I have found that the Asolo Cactus and Mantra are true to size....BUT........they are suede and they flex nicely and conform to a wider foot. I'm not sure I would try ordering my size 11 in a shoe that was less flexible. The Cactus are nicely flexible but not overly so

Answer: I think your D+ width or even E would work well in the Cactus, just order your regular size 9 in the standard width. I think you'll be just great. I hope so! They are super nice shoes if you like Asolo.
There are so many factors to a shoe fitting a feeling "right". I have rather flat feet but not entirely flat which makes my foot "spread" wide to an E.
Hit me up if you have any more questions.

Answered on 1/5/2015 3:37:49 PM by NCal Bob from California

I would recommend sizing up by 1/2 size because the shoes will fit perfectly for a regular width individual. Anything wider will be a bit tight; also, the insoles are not the highest quality--these tend to bunch up in the heel area. I've replaced mine with a better quality insoles. The new insoles and sizing up made all the difference.
These are still great shoes.

I these things fit like a glove. They are much more fitted"I these things fit like a glove. They are much more "fitted" than a standard hiking boot, more like a climbing shoe almost. I would guess you would want the proper width. It might be worth the gamble, I have never had shoes fit this well right out of the box, these are sweet!

It's a pretty narrow boot. You may want to go up a size.

I think so. Sometimes I find the lace to the toe boots to narrow, but these have fit me well, and I am a solid D width. They are snug to get on for me but comfornable once on, I don't lace them tight.

The Asolo cactus boot is a good fit for narrow feet. I have a narrow thin foot and these boots fit like a glove.
